Woman hospitalised after being raped in MCA’s office, suspect held

A Personal Assistant to Nyandarua MCA David Maitai has been arrested after he allegedly raped a 42-year-old woman in his boss' office.

Mr Samuel Kahuho was arrested on Friday evening in Ndaragwa Central Ward Rep’s office at Ndaragwa Township.

The woman is reported to have gone to collect clothes donated by the MCA when the incident happened.

According to Nyandarua North police boss Timon Odingo, the PA directed the victim to the store before he followed her and raped her.

"The woman reported the matter to us and we could see she was bleeding prompting us to arrest the suspect," he said.

The woman was taken to Nyahururu County and Referral Hospital where she has since been admitted.

Odingo said the suspect has been locked up at Ndaragwa Police Station awaiting to be arraigned on Monday to answer to rape charges.

Following the incident, the MCA has since sacked him.

"I will not allow such kind of behaviour in my office since I was elected to provide proper guidance and moral authority to the people. The said suspect will no longer be allowed to work in my office," he said in a statement.
